It come to our intention that you give shelter to a heretic, calling himself pope. This false prophet is preaching against good and faithful catholic English people, calling them names and denying their right to be in communion with the Lord Almighty. Such heresies cannot be tolerated anymore, misleading people only show dissent amongst christian flock, nothing good is coming from here.

Here is the official response of Camerlengo Abel Syarco in the inquiry about the church in England:

QUOTE:
To James, Duke of Kent, Chancellor of England

With much joy in my heart I received your lordships letter. My curiosity is satisfied with your answers. It is good to know that England is still a Catholic nation.
I apologize for any offense your lordship might have taken from my previous letter. I will have a scribe update our archives accordingly right after I finish this letter to your lordship.

As you can see for yourself, this impostor calling himself pope have nothing to do with Vatican and contradict the official position of the church.
More than that, it is known that only Camerlengo could call for the papal elections in case of sede vacante, calling himself pope out of the church is a grave blasphemy he will have to respond.

Therefore we ask you to deliver the heretic impostor to the church that the justice to be done. We draw your attention, Sire that acting against the church will have grave repercussions for your Duchy.

Because it's English people this heretic is speaking against, we are forced to act in order to deliver the impostor to the justice. I inform Your Majesty that a searching party will reach your lands in order to capture the blasphemer.

It's not for us to judge him, he will be delivered to the church justice for a fair trial before he will be put on a stake where he belongs. Do not oppose to the church servants, because you'll be regarded as a church enemy in that case.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada will attend on his trial.

James, Duke of Kent, Chancellor of England

I guess I misunderstand your text and need some further clarification.

You tell me that the word of a mundane ruler is more important than the word of the pope? And when did Urban call an english man names? Could you please provide me a document where he stated this?

You are aware that Abel considered himself a servant of Urban? What does this mean for the letter from Abel? Did he violate the ruling of a person whom he considers his spiritual leader or did Urban approve the answer?

By the way, where was the english representative during the conclave and the council, if I heard the story a willing english man could have easily stopped this election?

Questions from me and no answers yet, but I hope for your clarification. And one last question, if he proves to be right by the next conclave and you are wrong, will you sacrifice yourself also to the judgement of the inquisition?

For your request, unfortunately Urban is not in Burgundy currently, so you must check the European catholic churches to find him. As far as I know he was heading to Rome, at least if I understand his last message correctly.

With best regards
Denis de Fecamp,
Grand Duke of Burgundy

Your Majesty, the word of Camerlengo holding the official position of Vatican is more important than a word of a false prophet preaching heresies. We do not have any document as letters to back up the accusations yet, but we have testimonies of several witnesses who heard this impostor preaching his heresies.
Why you refuse to deliver him to the justice if he is innocent?

I'm sorry, but Camerlengo Abel Syarco did not mention it any Urban, is this the name the blasphemer gave to himself? You should not openly pronounce the blasphemous name to not be accused you are supporting him.

There was no English representative to such gathering outside of the church because English people are good and faithful catholic people, not blasphemous people working outside of the church. Be assured good Sire that English church will respond to the church call every time when a canonical Conclave will be announced by the church, but devoted English servants of the Lord do not participate in tavern meetings and plots amongst the drunkards.

Here is a small evidence from our secret services archive that it was very hard for me to obtain, but I'll do everything in my power to show you the Light:
From Polish King to Frederick de Guislan, who suppose to be the heretic preacher (archive note: intercepted on the occasion.. I'll spare Your Highness of the details)
It is unacceptable to chose Leader of all christians by a few bishops (representatives of four most important catholic churches - Saxony, England, Aragon and Poland - did not participate in conclave) on the little market of the small country.

El Rey de Espana to the same heretic Frederick de Guislan (archive note: intercepted on the occasion.. )
I believe any claimant to the Papal See elected in this manner could be none but a false pretender eager to grab temporal power. Let us not fall into the sin of Pride out of a sense of panic or desperation.

If we add the protests of my father, Gregory I, who devoted his entire life in the service of the Lord you'll have the whole picture in demoting the lies you are spreading in defending the heretic.

Ignoring the fact that only Camerlengo could call for the papal elections in case of sede vacante it's enough for us to make an impression about your blasphemous actions and convictions.

Do not dare to lie to me in the attempt to hide a heretic! We will turn every rock in Burgundy until we will find the hole where the false preacher crawled under.

Time for words have passed, now it's time for action! Hand the blasphemer to the church justice or suffer the consequences!

James, Duke of Kent, Chancellor of England

James had an agitated day in the camp in Provence. Messengers from England, Vatican or far away come and go, while the Chancellor read and reply to the missives.
Patrols enter the camp to report the result: the heretic was seen, but nobody could say precisely where he headed. Almost night when the captain enter into James tent and silently await James finish the letter.
But James could not wait, the letter could be finished later, while the news the captain bring could be more important:

Did you found the false prophet?

No Sir, this come from England where it was delivered by a Burgundian messenger. Captain hand over the message to James.

"To the catholic church leader and the ruling monarch".. list follows..
"Dear catholic leaders,
as you may have noticed there has been a coup de etat in the Papal States.".. bla bla bla..
"England.. have decided not to accept the pope as the highest clergy member and follow a way they call anglican".. signed Urban III.

James get out of the tent and read the letter to the soldiers in the middle of the camp.

Knights of England, this is the clear evidence of Burgundy treachery and plot against the Holy Church and against England using the heretic preacher.
We don't need anymore lies from the Grand Duke. It's all clear, on the paper: the heretic do not recognize the Camerlengo and preach false teachings against the faithful catholic nation of England!

Did the Grand Duke recognize the Conclave called by Camerlengo to elect a new pope? NO.
Did the Grand Duke plot to spread heretical teachings in denying England as a faithful catholic nation? YES.
We have the evidence, we don't need more.
Prepare the weapons! We will march against Burgundy heretic nation!

From all the chests of English Knights in shinning armor one voice:
Death to heretic Burgundy!

Hey retard, I do not call myself "James", James is my name my father give to me and the name I was baptized with. I do not call myself Chancellor of England, I am Chancellor of England. Better remember that next time you address me.

You look mentally disturbed denying people's names and call everybody "heretics", your verbal delirium it's a clear evidence you are possessed.
Don't worry, demonic tool, the Queen call for Grand Inquisitor Torquemada to assist your exorcism before the purification's flames will burn your flesh in order to save your mortal soul corrupted by evil.

Hey lunatic, even your king says the terms England offered for peace are perfectly acceptable, so the only one insane! here is obviously you. Well, if the terms was acceptable, why you did not accept it instead sacrificing your people?

The only warmonger here is you, because we call for a peace treaty and negotiations before doing any harm to Castile. It was your incompetence who sacrifice your people, it was your cowardice who let your people undefended by running away in front of English army.

That's right, run as fast as you can, coward but you will not escape from English army and the wrath of Justice.
You'll be judged for your criminal actions against both the people of England and Castile.
Betraying your own people.. what could be more infamous that that?

We was calling for peace talks, not for destruction, moron. It was you and your incompetent king who refuse the Queen's generous offer and wage war with the cost of innocent Castilan and English people.

God have mercy of your corrupted soul, because I won't. You'll be chased like a criminal, a cold blood murderer you are. I won't have peace until you willi the cutthroat and the rest of your murderers' gang will not be delivered to the Justice, so help me God.

James, Duke of Kent, Chancellor of England

Smelgar considered the letters awhile. "You have done well to obtain these letters, though no doubt the English will now be more careful and that source will dry up."

"As to the content, I must say the first does remind me slightly of my former antagonist Gregory, late of England and the Vatican. Indeed that fits for I understand that this man James was not only the protege of Gregory, but also his bastard, conceived during the defilement of the Papal Throne. It has fire, certainly, and brings to mind the old times, but as yet James lacks the skill of his precursor. Has he not heard of the rhetorical device known as the rule of three? Would not his missive be improved if he for a third time repeated his refrain: 'Hey Moron, we called for peace talks...'? Come, you studied rhetoric at the Pandidakterion, do you not think this is so?"

The Logothete was composed enough to keep his silence.

"Indeed it seems this James has much to learn, and not just of rhetorical polish. Consider the target of his invective. Gregory traded insults with kings and Emperors, holding his own in that company. But here, the target is a mere Knight of Castile. Certainly a worthy Knight at arms, and formerly a Brother Militant in the Order, but also a known Zealot and Fanatic and not someone the wise man disputes with. Certainly Gregory would never have deigned to hold such conversation; it would certainly have been beneath his dignity to engage with such a fellow, and he would not have wasted his time. In fact, if the trend continues then I suppose the heir of James will fall to an even lower estate, devoting his time to disputation with a clowder of alley-cats on heat, or perhaps he will trade braying with a donkey!"

The Logothete wondered if this was perhaps a joke, and whether he should laugh, but was saved from the potential to make an embarrassing mistake when the Emperor continued.

"The second letter is of a more serious nature. Here the adversary is the Burgundian Grand Duke; a man of both Honour and Power, widely held in high esteem, even by his erstwhile enemies. Here I think that this James shows his naivete: I suspect he underestimates the level of support Burgundy is likely to attract, and he may find he learns a lesson to his cost. Nevertheless, time will tell."

"But let us consider the matter from another perspective: the English Queen, she is a wise woman, as was her mother before her. She has this James as her running dog, making all sorts of rash statements and antagonising friend and foe alike, but he is not the real power in England: she holds that herself. And after England's enemies have had their fill with James and become exasperated, the Queen intervenes; much more reasonable, indeed a veritable sea of tranquility when compared to the Jacobian tumult. So much easier to deal with; so much more likely to gain agreement. We can see this pattern, I think in the recent dealings of the English with the nations of the Iberian peninsula."

"Anyway, I have bored you long enough with the asinine bleatings of an old man; you have done well, and long may it continue!"

After the Logothete departed, Smelgar mused to himself "James James Gregory Gregory commonly known as Jim..."
